• 3+ years of Python and/or JavaScript Experience: Strong programming skills with the ability to independently develop, integrate, and troubleshoot production-grade applications.
• 2+ years of API & Enterprise Systems Integration: Experience integrating applications with enterprise data, internal platforms, third-party APIs, and business systems.
• 2+ years of Cloud Experience: Hands-on experience deploying and maintaining applications using AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• 1–2+ years of AI Frameworks & Vector Search: Practical experience with LangChain, LlamaIndex, vector databases, or equivalent AI development technologies.
• 2+ years of End-to-End Technical Ownership: Demonstrated ability to transform ambiguous business challenges into scalable, production-ready solutions, balancing technical execution, business priorities, and user adoption.
